The Coincidence of Global Demographical and Economic Threats

Jadwiga Błahut-Prusik

Abstract

This article concerns of the transformation and the threats of human civilisation. The main point of view is focused on some kind of contemporary world’s Gordian knot which determines a simultaneous connection between disproportions of economic development and uncontrolled increasing of human birth rate. The analysis of the sources relevant to the dynamics of demographic and economic threats tends towards revealing of interdependence between many aspects of civilisation development issue. However, economic and demographic questions are getting more and more serious, in spite of ecological threats as well. Demographic explosion in poor countries and problems which have been brought by unemployment, bad using of land resources, social and economic inequalities are achieving a new meaning for the valuation of some perspectives connected with the development of human civilisation. Global questions are connected by one basic idea that means how human being could survive as a whole, which in consequence, a new perspective of development is getting shape. The global development requires a great deal of effort, not only for maintaining of global security and fighting against ecological ignorance but also against poverty which is connected with uncontrolled human birth rate in many regions of the world.

Keywords:

economic development, economic threats, informational capitalism, Malthusianism, poverty, social inequalities, Western civilisation
